| local.description.resumo | Huntington’s disease(HD) is an inherited disease that leads toan inexorable progression of motor, cognitive and psychiatric disturbances. In the initial stages, the symptoms are not clearly disabling,and thepatient may present a lack of awareness about the symptoms themselves,which we call anosognosia.However,anosognosia might not justify all passivity of the HD patient in face of the diagnosis.Patients may also ,as astage of grief,expected to happen in the face of the diagnosis of any neurodegenerative disorder.In addition,people with HDtend to be more apathetic,and more silent,in regular consultations.In the present article,the authors express apoint of view,discussing the behaviorof the HDpatient, in which there is a multifactorial passivity, in the face of the diagnosis and o the disease itself. Having the proper knowledge of this situation may prepare the neurologist to better understand the patient and the evolution of the disease. | |
